Celine Dion Andrea Bocelli Anthony Callea The Prayer 20 to 1

[TehInbredNinja]

one person doesnt have a prayer. lol.

[spcl01]

Move over Celina Dion and Bocelli, Anthony Callea is in the building!

[ricardo522042]

One of the most amazing singers I've ever heard. At 1:18, when he hits that high note, I was in awe, as was the audience (they begin to stand). For anyone to say he is not one of the best is to prove themselves a fool.

Can't wait until his next CD.

[InocenciaRubia]

I still get goose bumps everytime i hear Anthony sing this song.

[betchai101187]

he's so cute

[egglamation]

You used video dub :) good on ya

I know cos its got those weird dots on the top right of the video.

I use it too :)

[nonnapat]

Absolutely stunning Anthony I LOVE it. I will always love it. I also loved it that Anthony sang The Prayer when he was special guest for Celine Dion and was given a standing ovation. He is a phenominal talent and Australia should be so PROUD of him. I know I am.

[peo79]

i'm italian and bocelli fan... this boy sing this song wery well

[stingstungme]

Oooh. He is really good. I love it when I stumble on to gems like this. I'm in the US and haven't heard of him but his voice is amazing.

[mairanya1]

It's a shame YouTube didn't exist when he sang this first, as it created a sensation here. I wish he'd been promoted more overseas - he already has so many fans all over the world but I think he should have so many more! lol

[grits2hot]

what is the name of the cd this song is on?

[mairanya1]

It's on his first album, Anthony Callea and a studio version was also released as his first single. The first live version was released as a bonus single for a Limited Edition of the album.

[queenelizabeth111]

so much passion everytime he sang..love him for that...

[40950999]

the one thing I really don't like about "20 to 1", is that they always try and curve some kind of Australian representation

[muzicanoz]

Why would that be a fault or any sort of surprise? It's an Australian show for Australian viewers and this segment's about a song that holds the record for highest and fastest selling Australian single.

[magicsmelly]

yeah exactly

[MarkyVanHelsing]

Well done callea, well done!!

[GothicEeore]

does anyone know where i can get the whole episode or at least the list?

[lifestooshort28]

Beautiful and well-deserved comments, Anthony. Brilliant job!

[kaludavspride]

his so hot and such a great singer XD

[Forwardthinker22]

What a tremendous comment from John Foremen, 'Just goes to show what you can do when you have a great melody, great orchestra and a great singer' (Anthony Callea).

Couldn't agree more John.

[mairanya1]

Anthony didn't even need the duet harmonies - just did it all on his own.

[syana94]

heaven sent!

[talunol]

He's fabulous. I prefer the solo versions to the duet and he sang it so beautifully.

[doogleandalix]

Anthony is on a par with Bocelli and I mean that as the highest compliment .

[anglelovesmakeup]

bravo Anthony

[clueless097]

love it love it love it. personally i think he's better than andrea and celine. his version gives me goosebumps EVERY time, i even get teary from hearing like 1 note. he's got the best voice i've ever heard in my life.

[eava123]

God i love it.

[dbrdss]

woooow the only performance that makes me shiver, every time i listen anthony's amazing voice...unbelievable..Bravo anthony..hope he will give us more great performances like this..i dont think that anyone else can perform this song like anthony. the show to remember forever

[iloveyouuSexxii]

Heyy.

Wow ! I love this guy sooo much.

He has such an amazing voice, and i wish i could sing with hiim!

=]

[gcomeaunyc]

I think he's amazing! Does anyone know if there's a third CD coming out? There is very little info about him in the United States which is a shame as if more people knew about him they'd love him.

[waly93]

Hi gcomeaunyc, Anthony has just finished a six month stint in the Melbourne production of Wicked the Broadway musical & is about to hit the studio's to start work on his 3rd album, hopefully out mid year or earlier. It would be great if he got more recognition in the US he seems to have a lot on fans commenting from overseas on his Youtube clips. He actually just returned from New York, where he met with the producers of his next album, so hoping that leads to something being released there.

[waly93]

You should have a look at some of his recent TV performances they are just beautiful, O Holy Night and Ave Maria are standouts. Also This Is The Moment, Nella Fantasia, Come What May, Go The Distance, When You Believe are a few to check.

[bridgetteboogars]

hi mr. man who posted this... i was wondering, do you know what the rest of the greatest hits of the decade is? i would like to download them and i cant remember them.

it is impossible to find the list, so if you could it would be much appreaciated

[smartypants01108]

and just how did he NOT win?! can anybody out there tell me how he lost , that girl who won in 04 isnt even as great to where anthony's level is omg this pisses me off!

[Tombothebomb]

because the show was encaouraging her to win they put the idols winner single as a song written by a women with a women with a high pitch voice so yer anthony was ripped off

[harristhecavaliers]

gosh.. his voice like an angel

[queenelizabeth111]

i can't believe he did not win the idol on this song, he got an amazing voice.

[mairanya1]

Thank you! This was such a lovely tribute to a massive Australian talent. The original gave me the shivers because it was so unexpected in a pop show and it still gives me goose-bumps. I've since heard him sing it live so many times and never tire of it. He's even able to vary his performance for the occasion. I'd love to know how many copies of his version have been sold by now, four years later

[alchsam]

Absolutely did he sing the pants off this song. Anthony sang this with such emotion and it still give me goosebumps to this day.

[somemoresambora]

'he sang the pants off it' indeed!!

How amazing to see such a song on this list which was dominated by 'pop' and 'rock' songs!

[waly93]

He did indeed. I would have loved to see Anthony and Celine perform this when he toured with her earlier this year, it would have been wonderful.
